Cardinals Right at Home as Series Shifts to St. Louis
ST. LOUIS | From the Green Monster to the Gateway Arch. From the Charles River to the mighty Mississippi. From clam chowder to toasted ravioli.
The World Series scene is shifting, and St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright couldn't be happier.
"We love Cardinal country," he said Friday.
For good reason, too. After Boston split the first two games at Fenway Park, now Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury and the rest of the Red Sox will get to see what makes this place so special.
Especially in October.
"Well, we love playing here at Busch Stadium. Like I said, it's a sea of red," pitcher Joe Kelly said.
The free-spirited Kelly was set to start Game 3 on Saturday night against Jake Peavy.
"This is what I've lived for my whole life — my whole baseball career, I should say," Peavy said. "I'm as prepared as I'll ever be — physically, mentally."
Also warmed up: A team of eight Clydesdales, ready to pull a red beer wagon around the warning track before the first pitch. It's also a tradition for fans to gather early at the Musial statue — there are two honoring Stan the Man, actually.
Red Sox closer Koji Uehara took a moment to soak it all in. As he walked onto the field for a workout, the first-time visitor looked at the gleaming Arch hovering high beyond the center-field fence.
The Cardinals rely on a lot more than pomp when they play in their own park.
They led the NL in scoring while going 54-27 at Busch, and then let pitching take over in the postseason. St. Louis is 5-1 at home in the playoffs — in those five wins, opponents scored a total of five runs.
Boston has hit just .188 so far in the Series, with David Ortiz providing the biggest bop. He's homered in both games and is 4 for 6 overall with five RBIs.
With no designated hitter in the National League park, Ortiz will switch to first base. Manager John Farrell wouldn't say whether Ortiz would start there for every game in St. Louis, but it's a good guess regular first baseman Mike Napoli will be on the bench for a while.
Farrell also said lefty-swinging Daniel Nava would start in left field instead of Jonny Gomes, who is 0 for 7 so far.
"Obviously David's bat, at all costs, needs to be in the lineup," Peavy said. "David is a game-changer. He's as clutch as anybody I can remember playing with or against."
"It just seems like he has a flair for the dramatic. When the situation is the biggest, he's at his best," he said.
Ortiz hit a two-run homer off rookie sensation Michael Wacha in Game 2 that put Boston ahead 2-1 in the sixth inning, but St. Louis rallied in the seventh for a 4-2 win.
The Red Sox will spend this weekend at the stadium a few blocks from the Mississippi River.
"I believe our ballpark is very fair. I don't think there's one thing that would make our team any more effective in this park than any other," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "It's not like there's the oddities, like a Green Monster or deep corners and gaps."
"But you can't help but buy into the atmosphere, especially when you're at home and every single thing you do gets such a positive response," he said.
For the Red Sox, this is their first visit to St. Louis since Ortiz hit a home run on June 8, 2005, in a win at the previous Busch Stadium. The new park opened the next year.
Kelly also had some friendly advice for Boston's first-time visitors. It involved a local favorite, a food that many are certain started in this city.

Apple's procedures for reviewing and approving iPhone and iPod touch applications are still a bit mysterious. Indeed, over the last several months, we have heard many sordid tales of App Store rejections and delays. Wired has the details of the latest saga, which involves a company called FreedomVoice and its Newber application, which can transfer calls between your iPhone and other phones. FreedomVoice submitted the application to Apple for approval over six months ago, but the company still hasn't heard anything back. As a result, it is discontinuing work on Newber, despite the fact that the application has cost the company some $600,000 so far.
There are certainly concerns with the way Apple handles the App Store approval process and they way it communicates with developers. When a business model is tied to the capriciousness of one company, however, delays are part of the risk you take. Developers know before entering the process that this type of thing may occur. We are not totally heartless, though; six months is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for approval. The fact that the company hasn't heard anything in that time is even more egregious, so we hope they're able to get some answers about what happened.
Still, some of that $600,000 was spent on marketing despite the fact that the application hadn't been approved yet. For example, FreedomVoice spent $50,000 on a booth at CES before approval. Most developers aren't dropping that much cash on pre-launch marketing, but it does seem to be a bit of a trend these days. (We get quite a few e-mails to the Infinite Loop mailbox promoting software that hasn't yet received Apple's blessing.) Developers want some buzz as soon as applications are available to the public, but too much early PR can be a bit of a risk.

The Beer Nut: A look at the best session IPAs
More and more sub-styles of India pale ales keep showing up. First, it was just IPA. Then it was American IPA and English IPA. Next it was West Coast IPA. Then double or imperial IPA. The sub-styles kept coming – Belgian IPA, black IPA, white IPA.
Now the IPA sub-style du jour is the session IPA. Session beers are meant to be low-alcohol beers where a person can have a drinking "session" that lasts several hours without the worry of getting intoxicated. So basically, a session IPA is a low-alcohol IPA.
On the surface, that seems like a good idea. IPAs are the most popular style of craft beer there is, but many of them are beers that are higher in alcohol. So, in theory, making a low-alcohol IPA so hopheads can have a few of their favorite beverage is a great idea.
But the reality isn't as great. Most session IPAs seem to have missed the mark. To keep the alcohol low, brewers need to use less fermentable sugar, in other words, malted barley. However, the barley adds an important component to an IPA – balance.
And most session IPAs are missing it. Brewers seem to load the beer with the same amount of hops as a normal-strength IPA, but without the sweetness from the barley malt you're left with a beer that is bitter and not a pleasure to drink.
However, there are some exceptions. Here are my top three choices for best session IPAs on the market today.
Notch Brewing's Left of the Dial is right at the top of the session IPA mountain, which kind of makes sense. Notch specializes in brewing session beers – every one of Notch's beers are 4.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) or less.
Left of the Dial comes in at 4.3 percent ABV. The key is balance. There is plenty of hop flavors – pine and citrus – but they do not overwhelm. Notch, which brews its beers at Mercury Brewing Company in Ipswich, Massachusetts, does not load the beer with too many hops, and you get flavor, not bitterness. It is really worth seeking out if you want to drink half of a 12-pack while working outside in your yard this summer.
Another winner is Boulevard Brewing Company's Pop-Up Session IPA. The Pop-Up is 4.2 percent ABV. Boulevard does a good job of realizing that, since there isn't a lot of malt in the beer they do not have to load up the beer with hops to get the flavors they want.
This beer has plenty of citrusy, fruity hops, and they really come through, with just a hint of a caramel malt background. I could drink this beer all day.
The final of the three session IPAs worth looking for is Stone Brewing Company's Go To IPA, a 4.5 percent take on the style.
Stone is known for its big, hoppy beers, such as Arrogant Bastard or Ruination. How would they do with a low ABV hoppy beer? The answer is pretty darn good.
When you first take a whiff of this beer, you get loads of citrus and herbal notes, and it just smelled like it was going to be a bitter bomb, but when you take a sip there's no bitterness but lots of hop flavor.
The Go To IPA is not as balanced as the other two, but the pure hop flavor, with just a hint of malt, really works well in this case.
Now, go out there and give them a try and let me know what you think.

Foreign securities are subject to interest-rate, currency-exchange-rate, economic, and political risks, all of which are magnified in emerging markets. ETPs that target a small universe of securities, such as a specific region or market sector are generally subject to greater market volatility as well as the specific risks associated with that sector, region or other focus. ETPs which use derivatives, leverage, or complex investment strategies are subject to additional risks. The return of an index ETP is usually different from that of the index it tracks because of fees, expenses and tracking error. An ETP may trade at a premium or discount to its Net Asset Value (NAV) (or Indicative Value in the case of ETNs). Each ETP has a unique risk profile which is detailed in its prospectus, offering circular or similar material, which should be considered carefully when making investment decisions.
Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted.

Average annual total returns are historical and include change in share value and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Cumulative total returns are reported as of the period indicated. Life of fund figures are reported as of the commencement date to the period indicated.

Picking what's best for your bathroom is undeniably hard when you are conflicted between beauty, cost, and safety.

The tub has a door that gives easier access to the tub seat and can either have an inward or outward opening. The threshold has a wheelchair or a standard chair height. Bariatric walk-in tub is another walk-in tub that is almost the same with wheelchair-accessible tubs, but its features can accommodate an individual who weighs 300 lbs or more.

Water jet tubs consist of a system with various air injectors that create bubbles. This produces a soft and relaxing full-body bathing experience. While enjoying the effect on your body, you are all cleaned up and free from worry that comes with bacteria building up on your tub.

The hydro massage jet system is adored by many of our customers. The powerful pressure gives the right amount of touch that your tired body needs.

Toyota Tires
Tires are among the most memorable components of your car. They are responsible for multiple facets of safety including performance, traction, and responsiveness. But your tires are meaningful for other reasons as well such as efficiency and coziness.
- Responsiveness - do your tires react to your driving decisions correctly and in a timely manor?
- Performance - exceptional tread and subsequently pressurized tires enhance traction and you can feel it.
- Efficiency - do you like saving money? Keeping your Toyota tires subsequently aligned, balanced, and pressurized could make a extensive difference in gas mileage.
- Traction - do your tires grip the road, keeping you in control of your vehicle?
- Comfort - tread, tire pressure, balance, and alignment are all primary aspects in the way your Toyota feels while driving. If any of these aspects are not optimized your Toyota could start pulling to a precise side, vibrating, or feel bumpy.
For these reasons, the brand, tire size, and type of tire are all common for your Toyota.
Toyota tire rotation
You may be asking, how needed is a tire roation? Getting your Toyota tires rotated during the suitable time can make a gargantuan difference in how your car performs and also how long your tires last. Tire rotations promote even tread wear as your front and rear tires perform very assorted functions depending on whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive.
You may also be frightened to learn that some tire warranties require you to vigorously follow your Toyota recommended maintenance schedule including tire rotations. Let Courtesy Toyota of Brandon perform your next tire rotation. Schedule a service appointment online or give us a call at 8132854632.
Toyota tire replacement
You should always have your Toyota tires inspected at your local franchise dealership for a couple of reasons.
- Courtesy Toyota of Brandon will investigate your tires for free
- Purchasing tires with Courtesy Toyota of Brandon can include distinctive warranties not relevant through non-franchise service centers.

- Toyota Factory-trained mechanics can usually repair damanged tires without replacing them. Our technicians will save you time and money!
When it comes to replacing the tires on your Toyota, it's satisfying to do so on time without procrastination. So how do you know when it's time to replace your tires?

These Toyota tire warranties mostly last anywhere between 2 - 4 years or between 30,000 - 50,000 miles depending on the brand and cover usual break items. They mostly don't cover damages from hitting potholes or any different item found in roadways. You should check with your tire manufacturer for disparate information regarding your Toyota tire warranty.
You can also pay cash for additional coverage for your tires through Courtesy Toyota of Brandon or any different franchise dealership. These extended or additional warranties mostly cover damage to the tires as a result of hazards on the road as well as cosmetic dents, scrapes, and scratches.

The tire's information/specs are located on the sidewall and let you know about your tire's size, load index, maximum chilled inflation load limit, material composition, and tread-wear grades.
Example Tire size: P215/65R15 95H
- Max. bitter inflation load limit: This number illustrates the explicit tire's safe maximum load-carrying capacity when inflated to its recommended pressure.
- The next (65) is the feature ratio of the tire. The feature ratio lets you know the size will indicate the size of the sidewall. A smaller number illustrates a low profile tire..
- The next number (215) is the tire width in millimeters.
- The letter (R) stands for Radial and lets you know about the tire's construction: that the layers run radially across the tire.
- Tire ply composition and materials used: This will tell you the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire tread and sidewall. The manufacturer will also note materials used in the tire, like steel, nylon, and polyester.
- The last number (95H) is the load index/speed symbol.
- U.S. DOT safety standards code: This code lets you know that the tires meet or exceed the Department of Transportation's safety standards.
- The number just after (R) is the diameter of the wheel in inches.
- The earliest letter lets you know what kind of tire this is. In this example, the letter "P" lets you know it's a passenger tire.

How do I care for tires on my Toyota?
- Rotate: How mostly should you rotate your tires? On average, tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles, and more continuously if for high-performance tires.
- Evaluate: Make it a habit to look for signs of tread wear or break every time you fill up for gas or every time you wash your car. Look for tears, uneven wear, cracking, or bulging.
- Inflate: Tires can lose one PSI (pound per square inch) of air pressure per month. Check your tires once a month, preferably in the morning, to make sure your tire pressure is at the recommended level. You can also transport your car by a local Courtesy Toyota of Brandon and have one of our technicians check your tire pressure
My tire is low - What should I do?
A tire is considered low or under-inflated when it doesn't have tolerable air pressure to meet the recommended psi (pressure per square inch). This recommendation can be found on the tire or on the inside of the driver's door. Under-inflated tires lead to flats and tire blowouts. The most routine sign of an under-inflated tire in a Toyota is that your TPMS light, or Tire Pressure Light, will light up on your dashboard. The solution is to add air to your tire until it reaches the equitable air pressure (in psi, as measured by an air pressure gauge). If your tire pressure gets low again, you may have a foreign object like a nail that is causing your tire to deflate.
Is it worth getting road hazard on tires for my Toyota?
You may be wondering if tire road hazard protection worth it. The protection is essential because it covers tire damage that we all encounter on a normal basis due to road hazards. Our central goal is for you to feel protected when it comes to your tire purchase. Courtesy Toyota of Brandon offers road hazard protection on the tires for your Toyota, and it can be a various source of assurance when you're out on the road dealing with everyday issues that may arise. Road hazards encompass nails, glass, rocks, or other road debris, so road hazard protection covers and protects your tires from the more unforeseen circumstances. We all know the Tampa streets can be unpredictable when it comes to loose debris that can affect your tires urgently, so the damage that might occur can be covered with our protection plans.
What is tire treadwear?
Treadwear, traction and temperature grades all provide accessible specifications on a tire.
- A treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the tested wear of the tire...meaning, how long the tire is expected to last or how sudden it will wear down. The higher the grade, the longer the tire is expected to last.
- The temperature grade measures the tire's resistance to heat at speed. This is improved with high-performance or racing tires.
- The traction grade lets you know a tire's stopping feasible on wet pavement.
Do my Toyota wheels need balancing?
This is a simple sign that the wheels on your Toyota could be out of balance. This can lead to scanty handling and reduced fuel mileage. Does your steering wheel vibrate if you drive between 50 and 70 miles per hour? Toyota normally recommends a wheel balance check with every tire rotation. Contact us today to read more.
Why you should mount and balance your tires?
At Courtesy Toyota of Brandon, we can take care of any of your tire balancing and mounting needs. When a wheel is "balanced," the mass of the wheel and tire is evenly distributed all around the axle. In other words, there are no sections of the tire or rim that are heavier than other sections. The balancing process can be a bit more complex, but it needs to be done any time your tires are serviced or rotated. When you put the new tires with deeper tread on the rear axle, you provide your vehicle with better resistance against hydroplaning and prevent losing control on slippery or wet roads. Our mechanics know that when you search two tires or a set of four tires, it's rare that the new ones are always installed in the rear first if there are only two. It means putting the tires on the wheels and putting those wheels on the axles. When it becomes unbalanced, you're in for a bumpy (and even noisy) ride. You can find this information in the owner's manual or your vehicle. If your owner's manual isn't inside your vehicle, most owner's manuals can be found online. Our service advisors can also aid. When you invest in a set of new tires or wheels, one of the experts at Courtesy Toyota of Brandon will mount and balance them. The mounting process is elegant straightforward. When you invest new tires for your vehicle, it's rare to refer to your vehicle manufacturer's tire replacement and application recommendations. A wheel can become unbalanced from damage or imperfection in the rubber or other materials.
What damages tires on my Toyota?
Some tires may last up to 50,000 - 60,000 miles, while others may last as little as 10,000 miles. There are copious factors that affect the length of your tire's life. Everything from road conditions to tire usage may affect the life of your tires. These are some of the most routine items:
- Neglecting needed tire maintenance: Air Pressure, Not routinely checking for wear or damage, Alignment and rotation, Neglecting to get a direct tire inspection in the event a tire has been impacted or sustained damage, Not balancing tires after they are installed, Illegal tire storage, Use of sealants that have not been approved
- Driving Habits: Speeding, Sudden Starts and Emergency Braking, Driving on damaged roads
- Ignored Signs: Failure to notice a change in handling, noise or vibration, Failure to consult a direct when something changes
- Climate: Extreme Hot & Cold Temperatures, Rain, Snow and Ice
- Road Conditions: Potholes, Obstacles, Curbs, Speed Bumps
- Exposure: Contact with Oil, Grease, Chemicals, Strong Sunlight
- Physical Factors: Historic Age, Wear from driving, and Damage (nails or screw punctures)
There are a variety of factors that are dependent upon a tire's quality: durability, handling, tread, braking distance, drag, coziness, noise, name brand, and more. The higher on the scale of any of these factors that a tire falls, the higher the price will be, but there is no price too curious for driving in coziness and safety in your Toyota. The more durable a tire, the longer they should last. The better a tire handles, the more control you have over your vehicle during poor road conditions. Coziness is normally overlooked with tires but makes a extraordinary difference with all the varying degrees of road quality. If you've ever wondered what the difference is between cheap and expensive tires, our Toyota-certified parts and service veterans are here to answer any questions you might have. You also don't want a tire that will be too noisy. Breaking distance is a extraordinary factor in being able to react to the conditions in Tampa that typically arise, like needing to stop quickly and safely. Tread is also a extraordinary factor; the thicker treads with wider grooves will help handle better in slick conditions.
What should I look for when buying tires for my Toyota?

The DOT code will tell you a bit about when the tire was made and the explicit characteristics as accurately. Consult with your owner's manual or one of our bountiful Toyota parts experts to pick the right tire for you. These are all very adequate, highly with the weather here in Tampa, FL.

What types of tires are best for Toyota?
All tires vary in performance, durability, terrain endurance, and more, based on the type of vehicle and customer need. There are disparate brands and disparate types of tires for you to designate from when it comes to your Toyota. The type of tire classification (All-Season, All-Terrain, Summer, Winter, High-Performance) is commonly based on the rubber that is used and the design of the tread. Contact Courtesy Toyota of Brandon now and we can help you determine the best type of tire for your Toyota that matches your budget and driving needs.
How long do Toyota tires last?
Tires need just one thing to surge their life: amenable care and maintenance. Courtesy Toyota of Brandon is here to help. This will give you a hefty idea of where you can start improving your tire care and make your Toyota tires last longer. If your driving habits are instinctive and around 12,000-15,000 miles per year, an average tire's tread will wear out in about 3 years. This could be longer if you commute fewer than 12,000 miles or fewer if you commute more aggressively. Tire life also depends on the type of tire. Performance tires, for example, are not designed to last as long as all-season tires. Start with a free tire inspection at Courtesy Toyota of Brandon.
What are Toyota tires made of?
Your tire is commonly made up of tread, belt, plies, sidewall, inner liner, bead filler, beads, and a cord body. Together, the materials inside your tire make sure your tire stays strong and you get safely from Point A to Point B! The tread of a tire is basic for maintaining a steady grip on the road while the body of the tire contains the air.
Are used tires safe for my Toyota?
There could be uneven wear if the previous vehicle had suspension or alignment issues. Used tires are unregulated and uninspected. When you shop tires at used tire stores in Tampa, FL, you're taking a considerable risk with functional tread wear that is completely invisible to the naked eye, so you may think you're getting a quality used tire, but in reality, you're putting your vehicle at risk. If a tire was previously-damaged or serviced poorly, then the tire is at much greater risk of failing. There is no way to know the history or the age of a used tire, and some used tires are even made to look newer than they genuinely are. At Courtesy Toyota of Brandon, you don't have to worry about the countless questions that arise when it comes to used tires, because all of our tires are brand new, carefully inspected and Toyota-approved. Your Toyota 's tires aren't something you want to take any shortcuts on, and while used tires may be cheap, there are countless further factors at play that you might not have considered. Relentless weather can cause a tire to damage down over time, and it's unimaginable to know the conditions a tire previously professional.
How often should I rotate tires on my Toyota?
The rule of thumb for tire rotations every additional oil change for most makes or every 5,000 miles. This can help prevent uneven tire wear and make them last longer and wear smoother. If your vehicle is FWD, the front tires wear out much faster....almost twice as speedy as the rear tires. Contact our team at this moment or check your owner's manual to find out the correct tire rotation intervals for your Toyota.
Do I need Toyota tires installed?
More tires — varying in size, design and specialty wheel applications — are being developed all the time. That's why it's so running to have qualified tire professionals do the function. Any Courtesy Toyota of Brandon technician is licensed in helpful installation techniques and uses state–of–the–art mounting equipment.
What is the difference between All-Season Summer & All-Terrain & Winter Tires?
Tires are designed for a variety of terrain and driving conditions. To make satisfied that you are always safe, your tires need to be adapted to the weather conditions in your area.
- All-Terrain: These tires are constantly referred to as "off-road tires" too. Designed to give you momentous grip in mud, dirt, and rocks, All-Terrain Tires can still be driven on the road, but offer a louder ride noise than most further tires. Their unique tread design can also wear differently when driven on the road.
- Summer Tires: Summer Tires are primarily designed for high-performance vehicles (or sports cars) and are ideal for dryer, more temperate areas. While Summer Tires are technically designed for year-round usage, they should not be used during the winter season where temperatures are colder. Colder temperatures, excessively near bitter, can have a drastic effect on the performance of your tires.
- Winter Tires: Winter tires are fully designed for better traction on ice, snow, and slush in addition to wet surfaces and exceptionally chilled weather conditions. Rigid weather conditions can be classified as below bitter (32 degrees) but, just like Summer Tires, Winter tires are not intended for year-round use. It's best to ensure they are not used in warmer conditions and only used during those winter months.
- All-Season Tires: These are the most prominent, and most regular, tire on the road. All-season tires are built to handle, what is considered to be, "everyday" driving conditions. The tread design provides balanced whether it's wet or parched, as well as agreeable snow traction in regions with light winter weather. All-Season tires are a practical interpretation designed for year-round usage and typically provide a long tread life.
What are valve stems on Toyota tires?
While under-inflated tires can be an issue, another cause can be a cracked valve stem. When tire valves begin to weather and crack, and/or when valve caps are missing, air can slowly leak out. The loss of air pressure or low tire pressure is the main cause of reduced tire life. Contact us today to read more about valve stem care and how to identify a valve stem issue.
Do I need to replace my tires?
- Visit our Toyota dealership - If you see something you're not sure about during your inspection, have it examined by our tire shop. We can help you identify any issues and find the best Solution.
- If a tire is damaged, deflate it and replace it with your spare. If you do not see any tire break and cannot identify the source of the vibration, take the vehicle to a tire dealer for a thorough inspection.
- Inspect your tires mostly. Here are innumerable things to keep an eye out for: Uneven tread wear, Shallow tread (baldness or bald tires), Foreign objects (rocks, nails, etc.), Damaged areas, Damaged valve stem caps.
- A rough ride may hint tire break, uneven/improper tire inflation or excessive wear to your tires. Loud noise can also be a warning. Pay attention to the "feel" of your tires as you travel to work. Should you notice vibrations, louder noise than acceptable or extra disturbances while driving, immediately reduce speed, travel to work with caution until you can safely pull off the road and stop. This way, you can check to make sure your tires are secure.

NBA Finals: Heat Win NBA Title, LeBron James MVP
MIAMI -- The decision is final: LeBron James made the right call coming to Miami.
Finally an NBA champion, it's all worth it now.
James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, and got the kind of help that was worth leaving home for, leading the Heat in a 121-106 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night to win the NBA Finals in five games.
Best player in the game, best team in the league.
James has found it all since taking his talents to South Beach.
"It means everything," James said moments after the win. "I made a difficult decision to leave Cleveland but I understood what my future was about ... I knew we had a bright future (in Miami). This is a dream come true for me. This is definitely when it pays off."
James added the finals MVP honor to his regular-season award, calling it "the happiest day of my life" during the award ceremony as he stood atop the championship podium with his teammates.
He left the game along with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for good with 3:01 remaining for a round of hugs and the start for a celebration he's been waiting for since arriving in the NBA out of high school as the No. 1 pick of the 2003 draft. James hopped up and down in the final minutes, shared a long hug with opponent Kevin Durant, and then smiled as he watched the confetti rain down from the rafters.
"It's about damn time. It's about damn time," James said.
The Heat took control in the second quarter, briefly lost it and blew the game open again in the third behind their role players, James content to pass to wide-open 3-point shooters while the Thunder focused all their attention on him.
The disappointment of losing to Dallas in six games a year ago vanished in a blowout of the demoralized Thunder, who got 32 points and 11 rebounds from Durant.
Bosh and Wade, the other members of the Big Three who sat alongside James as he promised titles at his Miami welcoming party two summers ago, both had strong games. Bosh, who broke down in tears as the Heat left their own court after losing Game 6 last year, finished with 24 points and Wade scored 20. The Heat also got a huge boost from Mike Miller, who made seven 3-pointers and scored 23 points.
That all made it easier for James, the most heavily scrutinized player in the league since his departure from Cleveland, when he announced he was "taking his talents to South Beach" on a TV special called "The Decision" that was criticized everywhere from talk shows and water coolers straight to the commissioner's office. James has said he wishes he handled things differently, but few who watched the Cavaliers fail to assemble championship talent around him could have argued with his desire to depart.
He found in Miami a team where he never had to do it alone, though he reminded everyone during this sensational postseason run that he still could when necessary. He got support whenever he needed it in this series, from Shane Battier's 17 points in Game 2 to Mario Chalmers' 25 in Game 4.
In the clincher it was Miller, banged-up from so many injuries that he limped from the bench to scorer's table when he checked in. He made his fourth 3-pointer of the half right before James' fast-break basket capped a 15-2 run that extended Miami's lead to 53-36 with 4:42 remaining in the first half.
The Thunder were making a remarkably early trip to the finals just three years after starting 3-29. With Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka and James Harden all 23 or younger, the Thunder have the pieces in place for a lengthy stay atop the Western Conference.
But their inexperience showed in this series, a few questionable decisions, possessions and outright mistakes costing them in their franchise's first finals appearance since Seattle lost to Chicago in 1996. Westbrook scored 19 but made only four of his 20 shots, unable to come up with anything close to his 43-point outing in Game 4, and Harden finished a miserable series with 19.
Nothing they did could have stopped James, anyway.
Appearing fully over the leg cramps that forced him to sit out the end of Game 4, he was dominant again, a combination of strength and speed that is practically unmatched in the game and rarely seen in its history.
Wade skipped to each side of the court before the opening tip with arms up to pump up the fans, then James showed them nothing wrong with his legs, throwing down an emphatic fast-break dunk to open the scoring. He made consecutive baskets while being fouled, showing no expression after the second, as if he'd hardly even known he was hit. Drawing so much attention from the Thunder, he started finding his wide-open shooters, and the Heat built a nine-point lead before going to the second up 31-26.
Oklahoma City got back within five early in the third before consecutive 3-pointers by Chalmers and Battier triggered a 27-7 burst that made it 88-63 on another 3-pointer by Miller. James didn't even score in the run until it was almost over, hitting a pair of free throws after he was flagrantly fouled by Derek Fisher while powering toward the basket.
Gone was the tentative player who was mocked for shrinking on the big stage last year, too willing to defer to others who didn't possess half his talents. This time, he was at peace off the court and on attack on it, vowing to have no regrets and playing in such a way they wouldn't be necessary.
James promised multiple titles at his welcoming party, and the Heat have three pieces to build around. Pat Riley will have to fill some holes on the roster, but will likely find some players eager to come to Miami for the good weather and great chance to win.
Miller was one of them last year, and though injuries have ruined his effectiveness, his shooting turned this into the only blowout of the series after Miami had outscored Oklahoma City by just 389-384 over the first four games.
Game notes:
Miami became the third team to sweep the middle three games at home in the 2-3-2 format. The Detroit Pistons took all three from the Los Angeles Lakers in 2004 before the Heat did it against Dallas in 2006. ... Coach Erik Spoelstra tied Riley for the Heat franchise record with his 34th postseason win. He is 34-22, while Riley was just 34-36. ... The four-game losing streak that Oklahoma City finished the season with was its longest of the season. The Thunder had dropped three straight games to Memphis, Miami and Indiana from April 2-6.

It was Emancipation Day Monday, and followers of the Washington Nationals presidents race were calling on Twitter for an easy commemorative victory for Abraham Lincoln.
It took a little unexpected help from two slave owners to make it happen.
After jumping to an early lead, George Washington turned around on the warning track and plowed right into Thomas Jefferson, knocking him into the outfield wall and leaving both on the ground.
With George and Tom out of the way, the Great Emancipator sprinted past Roosevelt for the win.

2010 Forecasts: NL West
Here's a
silly little question for ARIZONA about Edwin Jackson. If he's good enough for
you to have given up on Max Scherzer, why is he pitching for his third team in
as many seasons? And why was the other guy you got in the trade a starter who
won his first major league start on September 1, 2007 – and hasn't pitched well
since? Ian Kennedy's rep in New York was as a guy who didn't seem to want the
ball, and even if that was wildly untrue, there has to be some reason he went
from untouchable to throw-in in two years. On these two starters the
Diamondbacks' season depends; they will get another acey season out of Dan
Haren and might even get a comeback from Brandon Webb, but if both Jackson and Kennedy don't produce,
there is nothing (Billy Buckner, Brian Augenstein, Rodrigo Lopez) for A.J.
Hinch to fall back on, and a truly potent line-up will have wasted a lot of
line-up is so productive that it has come to this: if Todd Helton suddenly
decided to return to football (at age 37, for some reason) and they had to move
Brad Hawpe back to first base and go with some kind of Seth Smith/Ryan
Spilborghs combo, there would probably be no noticeable fall-off. There is no
reason to suspect that Jorge De La Rosa's 2009, nor Jason Hammel's second-half,
were flukes, and thus the Rockies offer rotational depth behind Jimenez and
Cook, and they have enough in the bullpen to back-fill for an injured Huston
Street without mentioning the dreaded words "Manny Corpas." Franklin Morales
might just steal the job from him if Street is gone too long. This is a
well-rounded, deep team, and Troy Tulowitzki, batting clean-up, may reassert
himself this year on the path to being one of the league's top ten hitters.
In LOS
ANGELES or anywhere else, I would trust Joe Torre with my wallet or my vote or
my house keys. But I think he's in for a dreadful year. If anybody can get a
Number One starter kind of season out of Vicente Padilla, it'd be Joe; I'd
still bet it's likelier that Padilla will achieve that rarest of feats – pitch
the opener and wind
up being unconditionally released in the same season. My memory of Padilla is
him taking a no-hitter into the middle innings at Shea Stadium, and
sportswriters from two cities, in two languages, rooting against him because he
was surly in both English and Spanish. More over, what's the message to Chad
Billingsley? Clayton Kershaw? What's the message to Dodger fans that your fifth
starter battle involved both perpetual retreads named Ortiz? A great bullpen
cannot stay such if it has to start getting ready in the fifth inning, every
day. And the line-up is hardly as good as it looks. The Dodgers cannot get a full
season out of Ronnie Belliard, haven't gotten one out of Blake DeWitt. They may
have burned out Russell Martin. And Manny Being Just Manny (No PEDs) is a just
slightly better offensive force than, say, Mark DeRosa. The McCourt Divorce may
be a lot more interesting than the 2010 Dodgers, and a lot less painful to
might catch lightning in a bottle, if Mat Latos and Kyle Blanks and Nick
Hundley get off to explosive starts and there is no need to unload Heath Bell
and Adrian Gonzalez. If not, you're looking at Aaron Cunningham and Chase
Headley as the three and four hitters, and Mike Adams or Luke Gregerson
closing. Watch, hope; rent, don't buy.
I don't
much like SAN FRANCISCO's outfield (maybe they should have given John Bowker's
spring training resurgence more attention), and their third best all-around
player might spend most of the season backing up Bengie Molina, but that's some
pitching staff Bruce Bochy and Dave Righetti have to play with. After Lincecum,
Cain, Sanchez, and Zito, I think Todd Wellemeyer is a stop-gap and Kevin
Pucetas (or maybe Madison Bumgarner – and who ever went faster from prospect to suspect?) will eventually claim the fifth spot. The
bullpen has gone from wobbly to outstanding in two years (Dan Runzler might eventually make Brian Wilson expendable; more likely he'll just make he and Jeremy Affeldt the top pair of left-handed set-up men in the league). I'd be happier if they'd invested in an
actual outfielder instead of Aubrey Huff, put DeRosa at third, and Sandoval at
first. But if Colorado falters, this is the West's best bet.
Colorado in a runaway, unless the Giants put everything together early. The
Dodgers finish third, just ahead of the Diamondbacks – unless the Padres blossom early as mentioned above and
don't trade everybody, in which case the three teams will place within a few games of each other.
TOMORROW NIGHT: The National League Central.

Bear rescued after head gets stuck in cookie jar
RINGWOOD, N.J. (AP) — A frightened bear cub got its head stuck in an oversized cookie jar while rummaging through some trash and had to be rescued from a tree in New Jersey.
Environmental Protection Department spokesman Larry Ragonese says the 6-month-old cub apparently found the animal crackers jar Friday night in Ringwood, near the New York border.
As the 28-pound animal tried to eat what remained in the jar, he apparently pulled it over his head and it got stuck.
The cub became spooked when approached and went up a tree, but got wedged about 40 feet up.
DEP staffers arranged netting in case the bear fell to the ground. After the animal was tranquilized by a DEP biologist, it was brought down and local firefighters gingerly cut the jar off its head.

LulzSec mastermind "Sabu" was identified today as 28-year-old Hector Monsegur, who has been working with the FBI since being arrested last summer and pleaded guilty to computer hacking crimes. We're digging into court documents and planning detailed coverage of the story, but no one site can cover every aspect. So we're going to keep an updated list of the top stories and happenings throughout the day. (We'll put new links at the top.)
CSO describes an FBI official's claim that "We're chopping off the head of LulzSec," but says LulzSec is pretty small compared to the overall Anonymous movement. There's no reason to believe "that the hacktivist element of Anonymous will fall apart because of this," one security company executive notes.
The Guardian has posted the full text of some of the documents from the indictments against LulzSec members. The paper also has an analysis of the court papers, detailing Monsegur's cooperation with the FBI. The story notes Monsegur providing the FBI advance notice of attacks, which the FBI apparently allowed to proceed. "The FBI even provided its own servers for members of hacking collectives to use."
WikiLeaks tweeted a link to LulzSec chat logs from last August, saying the text shows "FBI informant Sabu tried to entrap anonymous hackers with $ for info."
Gawker has posted a story saying Monsegur was arrested on Feb. 3 in New York City by NYPD for attempting to pass himself off as an FBI agent.
Self-appointed Anonymous spokesman Barrett Brown told the New York Times that he received advance warning of the FBI raid on his home in Dallas, and that he hid his laptops to avoid them being found. Brown promised that "Anonymous will go forward as usual. So will I. We hired an army of lawyers last January. We are prepared for a big slug-out." (The quote seems to have been deleted from the Times story, although a portion of the quote exists in another Times article and the full quote appears in some other accounts.)
Fox News kicked it off this morning with an exclusive look into the FBI raid on Monsegur's New York apartment last June. Monsegur had normally been cautious, but slipped up one day when he "logged into an Internet relay chatroom from his own IP address without masking it." Fox News notes that "All it took was once. The feds had a fix on him."
Monsegur pleaded guilty on August 15 to conspiracy to engage in computer hacking, a plea only made public today.
Monsegur and five other members of Anonymous, LulzSec, and other groups were charged with various crimes including last year's famous attack against security firm HBGary Federal, and one against private intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting (or Stratfor), Bloomberg reports. In addition to Monsegur, Ryan Ackroyd, Jake Davis, Darren Martyn, Donncha O'Cearrbhail, and Jeremy Hammond were the names of the other alleged hackers. Other crimes pinned against some or all of the six defendants include attacks on Fox Broadcasting, the Chicago Tribune parent Tribune Co., and the government websites of Algeria, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.
The FBI press release has many details about the arrests and specific charges, saying the victims of the six hackers numbered over 1 million.
Barrett Brown said the arrested hackers formed the de facto leadership of Anonymous, and called Monsegur "an absolute traitor," the same Bloomberg story also notes.
FBI officials raided a Chicago home yesterday in connection with an investigation into the LulzSec and Anonymous hacking groups, the Chicago Tribune reports, citing an unnamed law enforcement source. The story does not say whose home was raided, but Bloomberg noted that Hammond was arrested in Chicago for crimes related to the Stratfor hack.
Consulting firm Errata Security has posted its own notes on the Sabu arrest, calling it "a good lesson for Tor users. Tor, itself, is not enough to keep your identity hidden." Monsegur was a Tor user, although he was caught after logging on to IRC without going through Tor.
The Anonymous Twitter account AnonOps sent out a terse message stating "@anonymouSabu is now controlled by feds. We have blocked the account and we suggest you do as well. #BlockAnonymouSabu."
Another Anonymous Twitter account promised to fight on in its own decentralized way, saying "We don't have a leader." A site called "Death and Taxes" downplayed the arrests' impact on Anonymous, noting that the belief that "Sabu" was a rat has been circulating in the hacking community for months. "Anonymous has grown beyond LulzSec and Sabu," the article states.
Before the indictment unsealing yesterday, the Twitter account allegedly run by "Sabu" tweeted "The federal government is run by a bunch of fucking cowards. Don't give in to these people. Fight back. Stay strong."
The Wikipedia page on Sabu has been updated to reflect Monsegur's arrest, and we'd imagine it will undergo quite an overhaul in the next few days.

Ukraine: 295 on Malaysia plane shot down
KIEV, Ukraine – A Malaysia Airlines passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down over eastern Ukraine on Thursday, Ukrainian officials said, and both the government and the pro-Russia separatists fighting in the region denied any responsibility for downing the aircraft.
As plumes of black smoke rose up near a rebel-held village of Hrabove, an Associated Press journalist counted at least 22 bodies at the wreckage site 25 miles from the Russian border.
A Russian news report said pro-Russia rebels intend to call a three-day cease-fire to allow for an investigation into the crash and recovery efforts.
The Boeing 777-200ER plane, traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, appeared to have broken up before impact and the burning wreckage — which included body parts and the belongings of passengers — was scattered over a wide area.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called the downing an act of terrorism and called for an international investigation into the crash. He insisted that his forces did not shoot down the plane.
President Barack Obama called the crash a "terrible tragedy" and talked about it on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The village of Hrabove is currently under the control of pro-Russia separatists and the area has seen severe fighting between the two sides in recent days.
The RIA-Novosti agency on Thursday quoted rebel leader Alexander Borodai as saying discussions were underway with Ukrainian authorities on calling a short truce for humanitarian reasons. He said international organizations would be allowed into the conflict-plagued region.
Aviation authorities in several countries, including the FAA in the United States, had issued warnings not to fly over parts of Ukraine prior to Thursday's crash. Within hours, several airlines, including Lufthansa, Delta and KLM, released statements Thursday saying they were avoiding parts of Ukrainian airspace.
Malaysia Airlines said Ukrainian aviation authorities told the company they had lost contact with Flight MH17 at 1415 GMT (10 a.m. EDT) about 20 miles from Tamak waypoint, which is 30 miles from the Russia-Ukraine border.
It said the plane was carrying 280 passengers and 15 crew members. It had left Amsterdam at 12:15 p.m. and was due to arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 6:10 a.m. Friday.
Anton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet when it was hit by a missile from a Buk launcher, which can fire up to an altitude of 72,000 feet.
Igor Sutyagin, a research fellow in Russian studies at the Royal United Services Institute, said both Ukrainian and Russian forces have SA-17 missile systems — also known as Buk ground-to-air launcher systems.
He said Russia had supplied separatist rebels with military hardware, but he had seen no evidence "of the transfer of that type of system from Russia." The weapons that the rebels are known to have do not have the capacity to reach beyond 14,750 feet.
A launcher similar to the Buk missile system was seen by Associated Press journalists earlier Thursday near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne, which is held by the rebels.
The Malaysia Airlines plane was delivered to the company on July 30, 1997, according to Flightglobal's Ascend Online Fleets. It has more than 43,000 hours of flight time and 6,950 takeoffs and landings.
Poroshenko said his country's armed forces didn't shoot at any airborne targets.
"We do not exclude that this plane was shot down, and we stress that the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not take action against any airborne targets," he said. "We are sure that those who are guilty in this tragedy will be held responsible."
The Kremlin said Putin "informed the U.S. president of the report from air traffic controllers that the Malaysian plane had crashed on Ukrainian territory" without giving further details about their call. The White House confirmed the call.
Separatist leader Andrei Purgin told The Associated Press that he was certain that Ukrainian troops had shot the plane down, but gave no explanation or proof for his statement.
Purgin said he did not know whether rebel forces owned Buk missile launchers, but said even if they did, they had no fighters capable of operating it.
Around the time the plane crashed, Russian media quoted witnesses as saying they saw a plane being hit by what they thought was a rocket.
It was the second time that a Malaysia Airlines plane was lost in less than six months. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared in March while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It has not been found, but the search has been concentrated in the Indian Ocean far west of Australia.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who had been attending a European Union summit in Brussels, headed back to the Netherlands to deal with fallout from the crash.
There have been several disputes over planes being shot down over eastern Ukraine in recent days.
On Wednesday evening, a Ukrainian fighter jet was shot down by an air-to-air missile from a Russian plane, Ukrainian authorities said Thursday, adding to what Kiev says is mounting evidence that Moscow is directly supporting the separatist insurgents. Ukraine Security Council spokesman Andrei Lysenko said the pilot of the Sukhoi-25 jet hit by the air-to-air missile was forced to bail after his jet was shot down.
Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York on Thursday that Russia did not shoot down the Ukrainian fighter jet on Wednesday. "We didn't do it," Churkin said.
Pro-Russia rebels, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for strikes Wednesday on two Ukrainian Sukhoi-25 jets.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the second jet was hit by a portable surface-to-air missile, but added the pilot was unscathed and managed to land his plane safely
Moscow denies Western charges that is supporting the separatists or sowing unrest in its neighbor.
Earlier this week, Ukraine said a military transport plane was shot down Monday over eastern Ukraine by a missile fired from Russian territory.
Many airlines had continued to use the route despite warnings not to because of the fighting, said Norman Shanks, former head of group security at airports group BAA and professor of aviation security at Coventry University in England.
"It is a busy aviation route and there have been suggestions that a notice was given to aviators telling airlines to avoid that particular area," Shanks said.
"But Malaysia Airlines, like a number of other carriers, have been continuing to use it because it is a shorter route, which means less fuel and therefore less money."
Flights that were airborne when the Malaysia Airlines jet crashed have been re-routed, transportation officials said.
Other passenger planes have been shot down before including:
— April 20, 1978: Korean Airlines Flight 902, which diverted from its planned course on a flight from Paris to Seoul and strayed over the Soviet Union. After being fired upon by an interceptor aircraft, the crew made a forced landing at night on the surface of a frozen lake. Two of the 97 passengers were killed by the hostile fire.
— Sept. 1, 1983: Korean Air Lines Flight 007 shot down by at least one Soviet air-to-air missile after the 747 had strayed into Soviet airspace. All 240 passengers and 29 crew were killed.
— July 3, 1988: Iran Air Flight 655 Aircraft was shot down by a surface to air missile from the American naval vessel U.S.S. Vincennes. All 16 crew and 274 passengers were killed.
Peter Leonard reported from Kiev. Contributing to this report were AP Airlines Writer Scott Mayerowitz in New York; Jill Lawless and Matthew Knight in London; Laura Mills and Jim Heintz in Moscow; Darlene Superville in Washington; Mike Corder in The Hague, Netherlands, and Eileen Ng and Satish Cheney in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Washington Nationals will introduce their new marketing campaign this weekend with a TV commercial that brings a new swagger to South Capitol Street.
The campaign introduces "Natitude," a new word that was inspired by the way the team played last year, team president Andy Feffer told the Post's Dan Steinberg.
"There's no pressure on me. The pressure's on the pitcher," says outfielder Michael Morse in the commercial. "I don't care if you're the best. I'm gonna get you," adds second baseman Danny Espinosa.
Following on last year's successful revamping of the brand, and last month's "Take Back the Park" campaign, the new slogan continues a dramatic shift from the days when former Nationals president Stan Kasten ran things with a cacophany of colors, logos, slogans, and conciliatory invitations to Phillies fans.
Of course, if the team doesn't perform, this opens them up to mockery, but I doubt manager Davey Johnson would want it any other way. Well done, Mr. Feffer.
